The South of France has the enviable fusion of miles of coastline and fertile rustic landscapes and has been the foundation for artists, composers and writers as well as the new visitor.
Where is it?
The term’South of France’ is generally used to explain the southern stretch of the state’s shore that runs between Spain and Italy, and the rustic inland areas that include Provence and the Lubron. With its warm climate, fertile landscape and developed coastline, it is one of the most regularly-visited parts of Europe.

What can I see?
The South of France is too big an area to be entirely explored in a single vacation, and is the reason why many folk return year by year. Some of France’s most costly resorts lie on the south coast, including St. Tropez and Cannes, and where better to observe the yachts and fashions of the rich and famous? The area is famous for its shore, sailing and water sports and for the towns that lie near it : Nice, Marseilles and Montpelier as an example. Inland, Provence is well-known for its rolling landscapes, areas of vineyards and swathes of wild flowers. With no scarcity of consequential buildings, local markets and museums to explore, the South of France has something for everybody.
How do I am getting around?
if you are planning on exploring the South of France, you should hire a car. The French, like most European nations, drive on the right hand side of the road and the roads are essentially carefully maintained, though many are toll-controlled and you will have to pay at marked toll stations to use the main road network. If you are planning on staying often in one place and just visiting major towns or holiday maker areas, then choose the train system, operated by SNCF.
